I am committed to the expansion of medical education in north Wales. We have made good progress in this respect through the collaboration between Bangor and Cardiff universities on their C21 programme, which is successfully facilitating opportunities for medical students to undertake a significant part of their study at Bangor University.  

The already established north Wales medical school task and finish group identified major pieces of work during their first phase. This work is currently being advanced and, upon receipt of the outcome, I intend to provide an update prior to Welsh Parliament summer recess, which will lay out a way forward.
